Rappers Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. are starring in a new movie. Surprised? You shouldn't be, considering that posthumously the two legendary rappers have continued to release a steady stream of best selling albums and still frequently appear in music videos, five years after their deaths.

The mystery that shrouds the unsolved murders of two of hip-hop's biggest stars will serve as fuel for conspiracy theorists and rap fans alike for years to come. Biggie and Tupac is a documentary that examines the killings, the evidence, and those most intimate with the stars under the lens of filmmaker Nick Broomfield. (Broomfield is most renowned for the controversial Kurt & Courtney, in which he alleged that Courtney Love conspired to murder her husband Kurt Cobain, former lead singer of the grunge band Nirvana.)
